Yep, thats what I got. The 4 coilovers, 2 spanner wrenches, and the hex screw adjuster.
 
Alright I did some web searching today and went on the Group Buy Center and found a place with a groupbuy on Tein suspension, they didn't list the Flex coilovers but I emailed them and got a price of $1245 shipped to my location for the Tein Flex coilovers, and that's for my 97 GSX. The place is called Turbo Evolution. I've never dealt w/ them but just might have to unless I find a better price somewhere. :cool:
 
Sounds cool treimche. If it cost that much. I might go with the Tein Type Flex too. Forking out just a bit more as supposed to B+G. Let us know if u can find a better deal. I'll try to look around as well.
 
Has anyone else found a better price on the Tein flex coilovers? Or what is the equivalent model of the JIC's? And how much do they cost?
 
Nah... not yet. The shop I know in San Jose quoted they can give 10% discount off the Tein retain price. Don't know if $1430 for type flex is retail or already reduced price on http://www.tein.com/flexdamp.html.

That's all I know for now. Anyone else?
 
I'm leaning more towards the JIC coilovers now, because everyone I talk to has nothing but good to say about them. The way they ride, the quality, everything is just awesome they all say. So far I've gotten quoted a price of $1450+shipping for the FLT A2 for 2G AWD. Anyone beat this price?

If you can get them for that price you should put your order in now. Thats a good price. I doubt you will find anyone to match it let alone beat it. Just making sure............. That price is definately for the FLT-A2's right? I say get them. Who quoted you that price........... I'm just being nosey thats all. ;)
 
Wow, that's a great price. Same one for the Tein Flex. Grab them asap! As for me, I decided to go with TEIN SS but add extra pillowball uppermount kit to that SS setup. It's a bit cheaper than Flex altogether. The main reason is SS is immediately available while Type flex I have to wait for about a month or so. Total comes around $1200 or so installed. Good luck with you guys's coil over!
 
Someone send me the link to that place that's selling JIC's for ~1400 bucks. I would kill for them at that price.
 
I too am wondering now if that actually is the price for the FLT-A2, I'm kinda thinking that my buddy messed up and got me a price on the FLT2 instead, which is not what I want. I'll be sure to let everyone know as soon as I find out the real deal here. I'm thinking that $1650 is more realistic for a price on the FLT-A2.
 
I'll be finding out Thursday afternoon the REAL price on the FLT-A2. Then I'll for sure post up the price I get!
 
Well a local shop here just set up with another place to be a JIC dealer, so they'll probably get it at wholesale or whatever. I'm gonna get a set of the FLT-A2 coilovers for $1450, but I don't think I'll be able to get any more at that price, since it's my buddy that runs the shop.
 
Tein Type Flex is available for 2G already ($1430). It's pretty new, just release about 1-2 months ago. I got the SS set up...real pleased with it. The pillowball upper mount is available for SS also (for $300 extra - $150 for front and same for rear). The one that's not available is the camber adjustment for SS.

But, if you have the money, go to JIC FLT-A2. All the shops I know said they are the best for 2G.
 
Sorry that post by TonyTSI was actually me, not him. I didn't pay attention to who was logged in on here. I'll find out if I could possibly get more than just one set of the FLT A2s for the $1450 from them or not.

Troy,

There was a member on asog.net getting together a group buy for the Tein coilover/struts or whatever these are. I dotn knwo much about them. But I think it was somewhere around $1k. I am going to PM him to see what the deal is he can get. I'll post up here when I find out.
 
ok, are Tein Flex and Tein Super street 2 different things? The group buy he was doing was for tein super street. It was with this website: http://www.modacar.com/products/Mitsubishi/Eclipse/MODACOI/


I'd say give modacar a call and see if they would do a group buy of maybe 5..you should be able to get that many since it seems there is 3 of you looking in this thread. Hope that helps:confused:
 
You can get the JICs FLT-A2 for $1550 through horsepowerfreaks.com they have a special right now call them ! I just ordered a set for my car
